I'm going through sorting stubs and ran across this article. It seems fairly filled out so I went ahead and removed the stub tag. Rx StrangeLove 00:04, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Unicode

Is this system included in Unicode or proposed to be? -- Beland (talk) 02:05, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No. And it is probably fairly unlikely to for quite a long time. We are still working on some significant historic predecessors of modern scripts - bronze and seal chinese scripts; important modern niche scripts - Cirth, Blissymbols, Sutton signwriting; significant historic scripts - Uighur, Yezidi, Pyu; large historic scripts - Tangut, Kitan large and small, Sumerian pictographs, Aztec, and Mayan Hieroglyphs. We don't even have Unicode for the 61 original "bar-form" Braille cells not currently covered by the Braille Patterns block. There has been a preliminary treatment of Moon type, though, so it's not out of the question. I wouldn't hold your breath, though. Van Isaac_{WS Vex}^contribs 14:18, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanisaac: Good to know; thanks! -- Beland (talk) 19:46, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are some ways to show NYP:

Use images (Commons of Wikimedia has all of images of NYP)
Use Unicode braille characters and rotate with CSS. Unicode has a complete set of 8-dot Unicode characters, on “Braille Patterns” Unicode character block.
1. Insert the Unicode braille characters
2. Then rotate to 90° or 270° with markup
3. Then will be shown as NYP “characters”
Or use Private Use Area. These characters can be added on Supplementary Private Use Planes A–B, or PUA block on BMP.

~~I think, I can propose New York Point block in Unicode.~~
